CardioLog Analytics and Microsoft Power BI

Introduction

CardioLog Analytics is an analytics tool specifically designed for use of Microsoft SharePoint portals- including intranet portals, extranet, and internet websites. The solution provides accurate and insightful information about SharePoint usage, based on the structure and content of the site.

The CardioLog Analytics tool already provides a multitude of predefined reports via its dedicated user interface. However, the integration with Microsoft Power Bi will enable stakeholders to perform quick, on-demand slice & dice actions of their data through additional intuitive reporting dashboards.

CardioLog Analytics’ integration with Microsoft Power BI provides sophisticated visualizations of live and interactive CardioLog dashboards and reports. This unique integration offers organizations the means for monitoring their SharePoint portal and business performance through the advanced looking glass of Power BI.

Stakeholders are able to create their own reports, filter relevant information, and slice and dice the data accordingly. By creating CardioLog’s dashboards with the Power BI Solution, enterprise organizations can gain a holistic view of business activity, and search through it all in one glance. These insights help them develop a course of action for monitoring and improving their SharePoint portal activity.

The integration of these two solutions results in accessible and easy-to-use dashboards, allowing for intuitive monitoring and analysis. Flexible and visually pleasing, the reports offer over dozens of different visualization options to suit organizational needs.
